Most memory bandwith benchmarks are pretty sketchy to say the least.

But it could also be cause by you running an fsb/memory divider, or running looser memory timmings.


If it isn't a P6 then it isn't a procesor

Chances are you have your memory speed set to automatic, and your board is using a lower memory speed ratio when you overclock.
